Cal Baptist joins Christian College Coalition
By Paul Edwards
Staff writer
In January of last year, after a
lengthy review process, California Baptist College was admitted
to the Christian College Coalition. The Coalition is an association of approximately 80 Christ-
centered liberal arts colleges.
The Washington, D.C. based
Coalition was founded in 1976
with the purpose of serving four-
year liberal arts Christian colleges. The Coalition represents
schools from about 30 denomina
tions and stresses a Christian perspective on personal, national,
and global issues.
The Coalition provides a number of joint programs that enable
member colleges to offer a broader range of education for students,
administration, and faculty than
individually possible. Faculty
development workshops such as
"The Integration of Christianity
and the Humanities" and "Christianity and Teaching in the Liberal Arts" are offered, as well as
conferences in psychology, biology, business, literature, and his
tory.
As part of the Coalition's
American Studies Program, 40
students from various member
colleges spend a semester in
Washington, D.C. where they
are involved in internships, seminars, and personal interaction
with the United States governmental system. A similar program called the Latin American
Studies Program sends about 20
students to San Jose, Costa Rica.
A recent addition to the Coalition's programs for students is the
establishment of the Los Angeles
Film Studies Center. The Center
is devoted to a study of how the
film industry functions as well as
examining Christian perspectives
of film. Internships and study
programs are scheduled to be incorporated as a part of this program.
The Coalition also sponsors a
number of short term study pro-
gams for students, such as the
Oxford Summer Study Program.
The Program will focus on Reformation and Renaissance studies
and will last from June 29 to August 10, 1991.
Management conferences are
held periodically for administrators of member colleges to provide an opportunity to share insights.
In the Coalition's first meeting
of chief student affairs officers
two weeks ago, Dennis Sheridan,
Cal Baptist's Vice President for
Student Affairs explored the
many opportunites that membership will provide for the college.
Sheridan was "extremely impressed" and encourages students
and faculty alike to get involved
with the Coalition.
